    G'day,

    The circular icon arrangement? It looks similar to the Window+ALT key function, but I suspect its a 3rd party "docking tool" - its not in-built into Windows.

    Perhaps somone will recognise it and tell us what it is.

    Looks like a mock up to me, probably done in Photoshop. So it Doesn't exist in Window Seven!!

    P.S Where did you find the Image?

    Its 3rd party or a mock-up for sure - if it was in Windows 7 Brink would have written a tutorial on it long ago.

    Thanks Golden. Just noticed that it was a download after posting the link. I downloaded and scanned the program, but I'm afraid to run it for fear of harming my comp.

    Good idea - better safe than sorry. Its definately 3rd party...........the question is, can you trust it?

    What did you scan it with?

    If you really want to use it, do yourself a favour and scan it with these on-line scanners:

    1. ESET
    Free ESET Online Antivirus Scanner

    2. Virus Total
    VirusTotal - Free Online Virus, Malware and URL Scanner

    3. Threat Expert
    ThreatExpert - Automated Threat Analysis

    4. Virus Scan
    http://virscan.org/

    Some of these have a limit to the size of file you can upload.

    Let us know what you find, or if you need more help.

    Regards,
    Golden

    EDIT : I scanned the web host with NIS2011 and it reports as safe, but that doesn't neccessarily apply to the downloads hosted on it.

    Thanks for all the advice. I deleted it after clicking on the company/developer name. It's linked to a middle eastern webpage where everything is written in arabic.
